Type-2's are still great sets though, but yeah these definitely go a lot lower and still perform exceptionally well. The fit and finish is top notch as well.

Def nice hardware, if you haven't installed them yet, well the rear install is fun with having to remove everything in the hatch area :insert sarcasm smiley:.

Haha yeah the trunk interior removal is definitely tedious. However once you do it so many times it gets a bit easier =]

hard to see the right angle in the pic but I still have 2-3in left in the rear and it's already pretty much tucking as well as developing some negative camber

That's not a tC though :D, I see no tuck either . That's one of the worst angles to try to show it.

Unfortunately for me, after 2 sets of Stance Coilovers, I've decided to to go with another brand. I, for some reason, have had ____ty lucky with Stance so, to be on the safe side of having more problems. I have abandoned them. Glad to hear everybody has had better success.

^XIEmporerIX: We know not all coilovers are created equal, even within the same brand and same line, but if I were to get an FC, I'd make sure to give Stance a look. :D

djshway, that's not good to hear, what happened? Am also interested to know what you plan to switch to.

My problems are as follows:::

Problem 1) The rear coil-overs had a fitment problem with the lower bolts not fitting... the whole was pretty much to small for the bolt that came on my tc... Didn't want to re-drill the hole, so Stance sent me the tubing to replace it since its a 2 piece. No biggie.

Problem 2) We replaced the rear tubings and everything fits, AWESOME. I was getting excited that its finally happening. Some time later... We measured out the front coilovers... and find that at MAX height, there were both different heights... We thought there had to be something wrong with us extending them but nope... it was off by 1 3/8 in.... So, we replaced the rears OEM back on. and I called Vivid, whom took very good care of the situation by contacting Stance immediately. Took some pictures and they sent me a COMPLETE new set of coil-overs that were suppose to be updated and redone and re-coated with some new bells and whistles...

Problem 3) I get my new coilovers and they look completely different from the ones I originally had. So I thought cool. These look good... The fronts were measured out at max height to be exact and the rears looked good. Got to installing these and BAM, run into another problem. We had the same problem in the REARS again... So i said eff it and replaced the tubing that they had sent me so that the bolts fit properly. Installation was a success after that.

OMW home, It started to occur A LOT OF noises like clunking and scraping in the back... I took it apart and reinstalled it.. Noise fixed... I start my journey to 2k11 and the noises came back like crazy... when i pushed the back of my car down, it made a noise as if a door needed some WD-40... I continued to drive to Houston... When i got there, i noticed the sounds were gone.... came back into Dallas a few days later everything is great. Then bam... noises came back after i said its time to rotate my tires and lower the back a little more cause i originally have been riding with a 3 finger gap in the back and no finger gap in the front....made it look like i was braking all the time...and I am still unable to find out the problem of it after checking every crook and crannies... I've reinstalled them several times, made sure i checked out if anything was loose and nothing was. Called Vivid, they called stance, so now Im returning these Coilovers and getting a set of ...

BC Racing Coilovers RAM Series.

I guess im a little **** about my coilovers but for the money you pay, and for your suspension, i guess i would have expected to run into less problems. Heard rave reviews from qquite a few ppl especially my friends whom run them on a DD 350z and a AutoX 350z (Both running them with no problems. They had noises at first but after breaking them in withing the first 1-2k miles, it was gone...).

Like I said, I've been the only one running into this problem on here with Stance, It may be i just have crappy luck with them. But im at least glad im the only person with this problem and not EVERYBODY.

Oh my new setup will include, -BC RAM series Coilovers, and a new set of Sway Bars, havent decided with what brands I want to go with but... im slowly leaning towards one... i think lol

dhshway: How different new coilovers looked ? What was different in them ?

RUS- The picture you posted was the first set I received. When i pull my set off , i'll see if i can get pictures of it. Also when i upload my pictures of the problems, i'll post them as well. I just found the pics on my phone of the ones i used to send off to them as "proof".
